"Despite only briefly working at Musk's brain implant company Neuralink before joining Doge, Coristine parachuted into major government agencies. Last month, Reuters reported that Coristine was one of two Doge associates promoting the use of AI across the federal bureaucracy.

Coristine, like other Doge members, was followed by a shady online history. Media outlets, including Wired which first reported his departure, revealed that Coristine had been active in a chatroom popular with hackers and previously had been fired from a job following an alleged data leak.

In March, Reuters reported that Coristine had provided tech support to a cybercrime gang that had bragged about trafficking in stolen data and harassing an FBI agent. Coristine was also fired from a previous internship at a cybersecurity firm for leaking secrets, Bloomberg reported.

Among the agencies that Coristine worked at were Health and Human Services, the General Services Administration, the Social Security Administration, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency.

Doge's cuts during this time gutted public services and targeted tens of thousands of government workers with terminations."

Hiring 'only the best people' appears to have gone the way of democracy in this 4th Reich regime.

FTA:

Although the exact reasons behind Coristine's departure are unclear, several other Doge staffers have also left since Musk stepped away from his government role. One of Musk's top lieutenants, Steve Davis, left Doge last month after running its day to day operations. Investor Brad Smith, who oversaw cuts at Health and Human Services, also departed.

A large number of Doge staffers remain spread throughout various agencies, however, and are continuing to implement cuts. Russell Vought, a top White House budget official and key player in the far-right Project 2025 policy manifesto, has taken on an increased role pushing for Doge's mission since Musk left.


It's far from over.

Anytime any of these little Nazi's show up at our government agencies we should tar and feather them and send them packing on a rail car. Little ----- deserve no less.

Hmmm that's sum good gubmint cheese!

Now he is a full time government employee.

Subject to government regulations like being fired if he doesn't perform like all the other lazy no good gubmint bureaucrats sucking at the teat of the gubmint.

He needs to taste the trauma. AmIRight?

You maga maroons know what I am talking about.

"We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected,"

"When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains.

We want their funding to be shut down so that the EPA can't do (enforce) all of the rules against our energy industry because they have no bandwidth financially to do so.

"We want to put them in trauma."

Said no one ever.

There's fraud and waste in the government! So let's fire all the Inspectors General who have been rooting it out.

-The morons like Fishpoo.

Collective OIG efforts: Collectively, federal IGs identified approximately $93.1 billion in potential savings in a single fiscal year, generating a return of around $26 for every dollar invested in their appropriations.

How much has DOGE claimed to has saved?

Only time will tell. Maybe a billion. Which probably went directly into Prince Elmo's pockets.
